There is nothing to hide about the creative process. Jiang Yulou talked about a series of processes including how he joined the Yanda drama club, a good friend from the dormitory, how he made a bet with Yingda, and how he "pulled him into the water".
What I heard was filled with surprises. It turned out that such a wonderful script originated from a gambling game. If Renyi's screenwriter was so talented, he wouldn't have to beg his grandfather or grandma for the script. Fortunately, fortunately, he had a good relationship with Yan Da's old grandson, so he accidentally missed it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Ouyang Shou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Xiao Jiang, can your drama be made into a movie?"
Jiang Yulou glanced at him in surprise. He could tell after just reading the script?
"Yes, Director Ouyang. In addition to dramas, it can also be adapted into movies and novels."
So Zhi looked at Jiang Yulou in surprise, not expecting this young man to be so ambitious.
Ouyang Shou laughed and said, "Xiao Jiang, are you interested in joining our Renyi as a director?"
"Don't make fun of me." Jiang Yulou was surprised for a moment and then said with a wry smile.
So Zhi glanced at Ouyang Shou dissatisfiedly, "Ouyang!"
"Haha, forget it if you don't want to. I'm just asking casually." Ouyang Shou pushed up the frame of his glasses.
Jiang Yulou breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at his old partner thoughtfully.
"Xiao Jiang, don't worry, that's just the way he is."
This is the second time Teacher Yu has said this.
Jiang Yulou smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I have never been exposed to the directing industry, so I can only live up to Director Ouyang's love."
"Xiao Jiang talks nicely, unlike an old guy like you." Ouyang Shou complained.
So Zhi had no choice but to ignore him. He just looked at Jiang Yulou and said, "Xiao Jiang, there is nothing wrong with the script. Everyone in our agency agreed after reading it. I just want to talk to you about the remuneration."
"You say."
"We at Humanities don't have much money, so the remuneration can only be given to you according to the current national standards. Do you have any questions?"
"Is it the standard of ten yuan per thousand words?"
"That's right."
Jiang Yulou calculated in his mind that the full text of his play has 45,000 words. According to this standard, it costs 450 yuan. Not to mention the money, the key is not the performance share.
But that's how it is these days, others' words can't change the reality.
"I have no problem with the remuneration, but the script can only be used by Renyi to perform dramas, and cannot be authorized to other drama clubs, or any other companies, groups or individuals."
So he was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that Ouyang Shou had said that Jiang Yulou's script was also planned to be adapted into a movie. After frowning a little, he could understand Jiang Yulou's approach and readily agreed.
After the two parties signed the contract, Jiang Yulou also received the royalties.
Starting today, Renyi can officially rehearse his "Famous".
Of course, the copyright is limited. If there are other drama companies who want to play "Famous", as long as they can afford it, Jiang Yulou will have no problem.
However, in a short period of time, even if other drama companies were willing to request this script, he was not prepared to authorize it.
Compared with the hundreds of yuan in manuscript fees or copyright fees, he still values the platform of Renyi more. If the play rehearsed by Renyi becomes a hit, won't he publish a book that will sell like crazy?
Hey, who makes Renyi famous?
It seems that the new novel will be speeded up, and "Famous" will be adapted as soon as it is finished. When it is published, it will be more effective in publicity if it is added to some dramas performed by people's art performances.
Still short of money.
This year, his family all moved to Yanjing, and they all relied on him to earn money to support the family, which can be said to be a lot of pressure.
After collecting the contract, Ouyang Shou asked: "Xiao Jiang, do you have any opinions on the actor selection?"
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"You are the screenwriter of the script. I heard that when the Yanda Drama Club rehearsed this play, the leading actors were also selected based on you. If you have good suggestions, we at Renyi will also consider them when casting."
Jiang Yulou thought for a moment and refused: "No need, I am not familiar with dialogue dramas, and I have never been exposed to actors from Renyi. As for the selection of characters in the script, I believe that Teacher Yu and Director Ouyang are professionals."
He vaguely guessed Ouyang Shou's thoughts, but he was not very interested in dialogue dramas and did not want to get involved too deeply. It's better for everyone to just deal with each other on the basis of cooperation.
"Really?" Ouyang Shou was a little disappointed when he saw that he refused without hesitation.
After Jiang Yulou said goodbye and left, Su Zhi pulled him and asked, "Ouyang, what's going on? Can actors make promises casually?"
"Hey, Xiao Jiang didn't agree." Ouyang Shou said nonchalantly.
So Zhi frowned and said, "Be serious, don't think this is just a joke."
"Okay, okay, don't I want to bring our Renyi and Xiaojiang closer together?" Ouyang Shou said helplessly: "As you can see, they didn't pick up on me at all. After all, it's our temple boy. , people look down upon you."
So his tone softened a lot, "Is this really what you think?"
"Do you think I'm so full that I can't find anything to do?" Ouyang Shou sighed: "I am a director, and I understand the importance of a good screenwriter better than an actor, and Xiao Jiang is a good screenwriter. Think about it, he I just came into contact with drama, and I wrote a classic drama script that solved our big problem. If we can have a good relationship with him and deepen our connection, we will be short of scripts in the future, and we won’t need to seek medical treatment urgently."
So he stopped talking. He understood that Ouyang Shou was right.
It's just like Ouyang Shou himself said, the temple of human arts is too small and people don't like it.
Also, I heard that Xiao Jiang's novel is going to be made into a TV series. The investment is one million, which can be said to be an unprecedented large investment. His novel has sold half a million copies, and my hands cramped counting the money.
If you don't do anything that can make a lot of money, who will write scripts for art and just covet their hundreds of dollars in royalties?
What if Renyi also engages in performance sharing?
So I was shocked by this idea, but this idea can indeed solve the current situation of the lack of good scripts in the entertainment industry. You know, tickets for Renyi are very popular.
Especially for classic dramas, even if the theater is packed, most of the people can sit there without any problem. If the performance share is distributed to the screenwriter, a lot of money can be divided based on the performance.
pity……
So he shook his head secretly, saying that people's art is a state unit and cannot be the same as a private one, and the performance sharing can only be a fantasy.
So he patted the old man on the shoulder and comforted him: "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. When the time comes when we really need a script, I will risk my old face and make a good work for our people and art. "
